 Paragliding is an adventure
sport. Many people all over the world enjoy
this thrilling sport because they
can fly high in the sky like
a bird. It is usually enjoyed by young,
adventurous people.
However, recently, a very brave grandmother set a new world record for
tandem paragliding. Don’t
be surprised. She is 101
years old! Her name is Mary Allen and she lives in Utah, in the U.S.
She went a paragliding to celebrate her 101st birthday.
Last Thursday, she was recognized by the Guinness World Records as
the oldest person to go paragliding. “How was it? I’m ready to go
again!” she said after landing back on the ground.
“I feel very humble in setting a new Guinness
World Record. My desire is for the elderly to keep on going,
do things as long as you are physically able. Be positive.”
She also said that elderly people should push themselves to keep having
fun. Please stay healthy and keep having a lot of fun, Mrs. Allen! |
